How do you replace the battery of the key of the Mini Countryman r60?

Model: Mini Mini Countryman1, R60 - Years 2010-2016
Part: Key

When the key/remote control of our car does not allow us to open and close the vehicle, it most likely has a low battery. We are talking about a flat battery, marked cr2032, the most common one, and to replace it you do not necessarily have to go to service centers, you can also do it yourself. Our video tutorial offers us help in this regard: with a small flathead screwdriver, we pry open the cover of the remote control, on the back side, thus immediately gaining access to the aforementioned battery. We remove the old one, insert the new one, and close the shell. Job done.
